So you can't have a beer or anything at all except for Friday and Saturday?

Oh well, I'll just have to adjust then. I'm extremely excited to be in the Navy and be a nuke, but the more I learn about the pipeline, coupled with my own personal experiences in DEP, reinforces my belief that recruiting in general is tailored towards fresh 18 year olds who may need a bit more oversight then those entering at a little older age, which I'm finding a little frustrating. I understand the need for it though.

Anything else you want to know about NNPTC, Nuke, RTC, Navy life? I'm at a "seven month" spot.. I've been in over a year, I've had invaluable amounts of time on hold getting to work "behind the scenes" on many things..

I assume you're an EM because of your avatar, was that your first choice? How long did you wait to class up for A School after Boot Camp, and how long after A School did you wait to class up for Nuke School? Any advice at all about the pipeline thus far, aside from the obvious "work hard, don't do stupid things," etcetera?

As far as advice; review often. I wish I took this advice. Take one hour on a Saturday morning to keep looking at the old subjects. Don't trust anyone, as Nukes we are programmed to be overly honest at all times. On a lot of bases and in many aspects of life shipmates look out for each other and watch their backs.. On this base everyone wants to step on the next guy.. You'll see stories of classmates offering underage sailors alcohol, and when they accept they'll immediately notify the Chain of Command. Just get a good group of friends and do healthy things. Stay away from anything that feels like drama.

So while you were on hold over the holidays, were you allowed to go home, and what restrictions were you under, like not being allowed to go do things after 2100, etc? Also, good luck with training!
